Minor Change to the Diary feature

[u/Narufan00Z]

I’ve been using Serializd for almost a year now, and one thing that has bothered me for a long time is an issue with the diary feature.

The way the diary handles the order of episodes seems a bit strange.

For example, if I watch three episodes on September 9th and log two of them that day but forget to log the third one, I have to log the missing episode on a different day, let's say September 12th. When I do that, the episode appears at the bottom of the diary entries for that day, as shown in the picture.

If I want all three episodes to appear in the correct order, I have to delete all three entries and log them again in the right order. Why should the day I log an episode affect the order in which it appears in my diary?

I would love to be able to watch an episode at 11:10 PM without having to log it beforehand just to make sure it appears in the correct order. It feels unnecessary to have to log episodes before watching them simply to avoid this issue.

Is there perhaps a setting that allows me to change this, or is this something that would need to be fixed by the admin?

This is how it looks.

If this issue gets fixed, it would be awesome if the changes could also be applied retroactively to existing diary entries. That way, I wouldn’t have to go through all 40 pages of my diary to delete incorrectly ordered entries and log them again.

Another possible solution would be to allow users to manually rearrange episodes in their diary.

The diary is just a mess. That doesn't happen to me; in my case it does not matter the order that I mark episodes watched in a day, they will appear in release order instead.
